Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

I’d say my style is soulful, heartfelt, and timeless. Whether I’m playing a stripped-down acoustic version of a song or an upbeat tune to get the party going, I always aim to bring warmth and connection through music.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

It’s simple and stress-free! We start with a consultation to talk about your vision and song preferences. From there, I help curate the perfect music for your day, whether it’s selecting the right songs or creating a custom performance. On the wedding day, I handle everything so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

What current trends have you seen at weddings?

Live music to create a personal and unique experience has been a big trend. It sets a great atmosphere and keeps guests engaged. I’ve also seen more couples choosing for us to create a custom song together for their ceremony or first dance rather than traditional options, which I absolutely love!

I bring a warm, soulful energy to every wedding I play, creating an experience that feels personal and unforgettable. Whether it’s a heartfelt ceremony performance, a lively cocktail hour, or a custom-written love song, my goal is to make your wedding soundtrack one-of-a-kind.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

I’ve been a full-time musician for over 20 years, performing everywhere from intimate backyard weddings to major venues like Disney and House of Blues. No matter the setting, I bring the same passion and care to every performance.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

It all started when a friend asked me to play at their wedding, and I saw how music could elevate such a special moment. From that day on, I knew I wanted to help couples create memories through music that lasts a lifetime.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

Focus on what truly matters—celebrating your love with the people who mean the most. The little details will fall into place, but the moments of joy, laughter, and love will be what you remember most.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

I love the first dance. It’s such an intimate, special moment where everything else fades away, and it’s just the two of you, soaking in the love and excitement of your new journey together.
